About Project North
Project North takes a community-led approach to empower and inspire locals in the northern suburbs of Launceston.
"What people long for is a chance to have their voice heard, to feel valued, understood and supported. Understanding that for a community to truly thrive, locals must have a say in its future." said Ray Green Project Lead.
This initiative is powered through collaboration and as such recognises and is thankful for generosity and support of Olive Road in partnership with City Mission North & North West TAS. Project North is about bringing people with a lived experience of their communities to the forefront of decision making when it comes to things that matter to them and aims to identify and alleviate some of the more persistent and complex social issues in the Northern Suburbs of Launceston. It hopes to achieve this through local communities working together around an agreed resident led collective impact approach. A key component of this project is the empowerment of local community members being the primary owners and changemakers when it come building a better future for those they love.
Ray Green (Project North – Community Development Lead) works alongside various place-based community stakeholders, such as the City of Launceston, the Northern Suburbs Community Centre, Starting Point Neighbourhood House, local community sheds, the Migrant Resource Centre, Community Housing Limited as well as government and business to help equip, resource and develop local leaders, facilitating the longer term viability of the project.
Let's Fly Together – Kite Day 2025
Support a day that lifts more than just kites.
On Sunday, 12 October 2025, the skies above the UTAS Newnham Campus will once again fill with colour, laughter, and connection as our community comes together for Let’s Fly Together—a free, inclusive kite flying day that celebrates families, culture, and togetherness.
Last year, over 300 people joined us for an unforgettable day of joy and unity. Thanks to generous support from local businesses, organisations, and individuals, we were able to offer free activities, entertainment, and food to everyone who came—no barriers, no cost, just community.
This year, we’re building on that success. With kite flying, assembly workshops, face painting, live music, a photo booth, raffles, and a delicious spread including BBQ, Bolani, and hot drinks, we’re creating a space where families can connect, kids can play, and everyone feels welcome.
But we can’t do it without you.
Your donation keeps this event free, inclusive, and full of joy. It supports local volunteers, community groups, and small businesses working together to make the day special.
Whether you're a business, organisation, or individual—your support helps us lift kites, and spirits.
Christmas in Rocherlea 2025
Help us bring joy to families this festive season.
On Friday, 5 December 2025, the heart of Rocherlea will come alive with festive cheer at The Shed, 12 King Billy Crescent. Now in its fourth year, Christmas in Rocherlea has become a cherished tradition—bringing together families, children, and community members for a night of celebration, connection, and kindness.
Last year, we supported over 250 families and children, offering free entertainment, food, and gifts in a safe, welcoming space. The feedback was heartfelt and clear:
“Very well organised. Safety conscious toward adults and children.”
“My kids loved it—thank you!”
Your generous donation will help us keep this event free and inclusive for everyone. It supports local volunteers, community groups, and small businesses who come together to make the magic happen.
Whether you're a business, organisation, or individual, your support helps us deliver joy where it’s needed most.
Be part of something truly uplifting.
Together, we’re not just celebrating Christmas—we’re building community.
Transforming Together
Project North would like to acknowledge and thank the Northern Suburb community for its huge contribution to the Transform Together Survey. "It was our privilege to sit and hear your dreams, joys, struggles and aspirations" said Ray Green, (Project North) Operations Manager Community Development.
If it is true that people support what they help create, then my hope is that by sharing your ideas through this Project, the creation of better a future for you and those you care about will result. This Project recognises the enormous challenges we face. However, we are not alone, and together transformation is possible as long as we remember that our greatness as a community is measured by our compassionate service for each other.
